a very interesting video and when you were talking about art and rei i couldn't help but think of her fine arts and aesthetic education and maybe that like fine art, inspiration and creativity aren't clear cut concepts for her but rather the process and what happens internally. her answers to me were more like a sculptor than a designer.

We aren’t scared to be stabbed, you where lied to in school and we are correct, “we fought the wrong enemy” - General Patton before death. Also we are cooler than you and true counterculture, not you pointless fence sitters whose beliefs line up exactly with most major corperations.

THANK YOU

Great video!

My favorite is still Bram stokers Dracula ,also Queen of Damned

Enjoyed watching this :) gave you a follow!

I really do think Reis vision on not using inspo on her design is true. It is nearly impossible to not get inspiration from something since we can't create something that is out of world but she truly tryna do that in her designs. She doesn't like to use references like galliano or something that you will make a moodboard for she goes raw she thinks the unimaginable and does it. I dont know where I have heard it but she was talking about how she is always trying to do the never seen before. So basically she doesn't get inspired she makes the inspiration.

I also thought the helmet looked like a bat.

Finally 😅

The double dragon is also the banner of the orthodox church

Gary oldman was so good in this.He was playing like 3 diffrent versions of dracula.Old dracula young dracula and his beast forms

I respect her methods and her vision overall, but I'm sorry...Dracula's beehive hairdo looks ridiculous and deserves all the ridicule it's gotten and more. He should have kept his hair down and brushed back like when he's wearing the gold robe and the robe he wears beneath his red robe should have been black, not white.

idk... i think that it matters to have the truth in fashion, or in any art form for that matter. if rei kawakubo says she wasnt inspired by the 60s japanese artistic movements, our safest bet is to assume she wasnt inspired by them. sure, we can speculate on whether or not its the case, and reinterpretations are fun to do, perspective changing and definitely not to be mocked, but the truth is right there in front of us, and we shouldnt cast it aside as "one of the many perspectives". its the foundational "perspective" from which our fun intellectualizations and speculations are built upon, and i dont think this worldview risks boxing people in, but rather it prevents them from going delusional and to the point where theres no objective truth and your and my "takes" are just as valid as rei's, the literal creator of the collections.

Rest in Peace Eiko Ishioka (石岡 瑛子) She was an absolute beacon of artistry! The Fall has some of my favorite costumes of all time, and the visual motifs for character and story within all her costumes was just *chef's kiss*

Should we not use the show notes? Then how do we interpret what the clothes in these collections mean, how do we make sense of what is presented to us without any context

Your video is well constructed and i love the naration. Great job! When I think of Rei's vision and the way it is presented in CDG runways, I think of her as a chaos with a direction. Sure, there is a beginning or reason to one, but the more it is going the less the reason either is making sense or even matter at all. I think, that Rei's work is too multifaceted, in order to look for concrete references, she might as well resemble the distortion of the Japanese or world society as a whole. I feel like it is not about the inspiration, but rather the sole desire of interpretation of everything. In a good sense, she reminds me of how the AI images were constructed in the begining, for example Dall-e mini images, which were very rough and exagarated, but created based on the provided reality

great video, keep it up man!

alot of things you can say about Coppola's Dracula... one thing you CANNOT say---- is that it is timeless. it has aged terribly. lol

I think I’ve seen some old ruins where they shot some footy. I think I was on a boat? An old abbey maybe. I’ve been many places, sorry.

Come on man. If you were being objective, zoot suits would be tier one. That’s some basic shit

Rei’s interview through Joffe should be taken as from the perspective of an unreliable narrator (herself, not Joffe). I have no doubt she believes in this narrative of herself, and wants to share that to keep up her status and aura as an aloof and cryptic designer, but I have doubts that she is telling the whole story. She very well could have been inspired as a young designer by many different things, but looking back at that time period nearly 60 years later, she could believe a different narrative for herself and that time period so long ago. We need to be careful about accepting people’s words, especially about themselves, when there is so much incentive and historical precedence of people building an ethos and legend about their past that is not necessarily true.

Nice video!

I commonly reference new movies as less production value than your average larp Is oz players make better costumes than modern Hollywood films This is a testament to how movies should be done It's not just Disney but I will pick on Disney most of the movies they put out I think a couple kids and a college campus could make better props

10:38. Paolo and Francesca was a wood engraving done for an illustrated version of The Divine Comedy by artist Gustav Dore published the late 1800’s. Dante Alighieri was the epic poet who wrote The Divine Comedy beginning with The Inferno sometime around 1300. One of the best long distance (time wise) artistic pairings of all time, IMO! Great video!

I briefly worked for the NYC Costume Shopway after they built/made that white wedding dress. They were responsible for some of the costumes.

As a side note, I think it would've also been great if you noted how the three articles rule was, at its core, sexist, beyond the homophobia you mentioned, because it targeted anyone that dared to dress in a gender-non-conforming way, no matter their personal identity. Ykwim? Really good video btw, just a small detail!

Hii, sorry if this is rude, but could you please add closed captions ("official subtitles" hahah)? I sometimes cannot really understand certain dialogues, especially when it comes to the names, and the automatic ones are not helping <3

I loved this video, thank you so much!!

As a LCF and CSM graduate I was telling a friend this morning that studying fashion years ago was maybe a mistake...I came across this great video while researching something else. 😮Ha ! I was pleasantly surprised by your well informed video...❤🎼 I guess " I don’t like faaaaashion, but fashion likes me."

the armor is modeled more after a bat than a wolf.

I know it has to be Japanese the way the red armer looked and the robe 😍

5:18 could simply be a reference to the historical Vlad being a devout Christian

I love that armor.

Elisabeta's costume is based on slavic culture, and it holds various symbolisms related to fertility like ferns, but aslo lust. Rather than a phoenix, it actually represents a peacock, which also happens to be a symbol of renewal and her apparent reincarnation as Mina. As further evidence, the first shot we see of Mina in the movie happens right after the prologue, and she's wearing her light green dress which also has fern designs just like Elisabeta's, and more importantly as the camera pans out we see her kiss Johnathan and peacock feathers are shown. The peacock and the ferns are also present in Mina"s motif, as symbols of fertility and lust, and as it happens peacocks have green in their feathers. All of these are clues that Mina is Elisabeta"s reincarnation, and they're introduced fairly early in the movie.

Awesome then, clang, he's femme clothed, where, when. Leave 2024 at the door mate. Daft. Stop it. bloody silly.

The point about people "getting sophisticated quick" really hits; I personally know multiple people who wear clothes not because they like them but because it signals something

Vlad's armor in Dracula was _dope!_

3:00 OK, I never noticed until you pointed it out, but yeah she does look more like a Chinese ghost than a vampire. They don't need a cross, they need a talisman! haha...

This, this is what makes movies an art form. The pageantry of texture and hedonistic color burned onto celluloid and emblazoned with light. Igniting awe and wonder with every frame.

Nice video! I think actually Dracula's crazy hair when he meets Harker is more inspired by ancient Huns rather than Elizabethan Europe, because at one point he says that he is an ancestor of Attila. I remember seeing a clip of Eiko saying something about the Asian influence also.

I loved his armor!

She was also involved in The Cell, which is why the dream suit resembles the Dracula armor: like peeled flesh.

Dracula's armor design was absolutely stupid, ridiculous and ugly! It was in no way historically accurate to ANY time period and was just completely absurd. The main reason I hated this movie... not writing, not cinematography, not acting... the obvious misunderstanding of how armor works or functionally looked like. Complete POS

Japanese inspired old Goth in Phx AZ says THANKYOU. Answered many Questions EBABCOCK

@7:22 I yelled out _PREDATOR_ then was like oh... Yeah that too

I love this movie except for one thing. Keanu Reeves. God forgive me but he was so wooden. I thought when I first saw it that if Hugh Grant had played Jonathan Harker and Daniel Day Lewis had played Dracula it would have been perfect. Yes, it was over-art directed, and yes, some of the acting was too campy but it's still one of my favourite movies.

was a little kid when this released and ever since that first watch that armor has stuck with me forever. so unique and awesome with a touch of demonic/christian.

his white hairstyle with two halves (butt looking lets be honest) with a "tail" reminds me of a brain with its stem

It makes sense Mina is green and Dracula red. Opposites that perfectly complement each other.
